Music fans got dissapointed when pop star Katy Perry?s one-night-only concert in the Philippines scheduled last October got canceled. The good thing is, not only is it finally happening today, it has also turned into a fundraiser to help the survivors of Tropical Storm ?Ondoy? and Typhoon ?Pepeng.?

Dubbed ?Katy Perry Rocks for Relief!? this musical extravaganza will happen tonight at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, at 8 p.m.

Boys Like Girls, the band supposed to open for the international singing superstar last October, might have passed up on the chance to perform in the country due to schedule conflicts, but taking their place is a bunch of world-class performers to make the show even bigger than it already is.

Joining Katy Perry, who broke into the scene in 2008 with her smash hit ?I Kissed a Girl,? are American rock band MAE, singer Jed Madela, plus Arnel Pineda and Neal Schon of Journey.

Watch ?Katy Perry Rocks for Relief!? tonight and you can have a great time listening to her hit singles such as ?Hot N Cold,? ?Thinking of You? and ?Waking Up In Vegas??while making a difference, since all the net proceeds will be donated to the Philippine National Red Cross, the concert?s only beneficiary.

You can help out even more by bringing relief goods and old clothes; there will be donation booths at the venue. Get your tickets (P3,500 for VIP, P2,200 for Gold, P1,200 for Silver and P400 for Bronze, plus three-percent service charge) at www.ticketworld.com.ph, or call 891-9999.

The Ticketworld branch where you bought your old ticket from will also honor refunds. For more information, visit www.mtvphil.com.
